Welcome to Week 5 of the Fall 2018 season of the One Room Challenge. I hope everyone survived, and maybe even enjoyed Halloween. I am personally just dead tired. Mid-week Halloween is brutal. This is the point at which ORC things should be *almost* done. And they’re really not. But they will be. Like, today.…

We are sliding toward the finish line, and I’m not mad about it! If you’re a first-timer to our sixth One Room Challenge, let me briefly catch you up. I decided a few days after this round’s Week 1 start date to jump in as motivation to transition my 4-year-old son’s bedroom to a ‘big…

I need to begin with a disclaimer: This won’t be my most riveting blog post ever. I am exhausted, and not really feeling the writing process right now. So I’m going to keep this brief (my version of brief, anyway…). It’s Week 3…go easy on me :). I actually did accomplish some things this…

Is it Week 2 or Day 2? Actually, both. I threw my hat into the ring on this round of the One Room Challenge earlier this week (see my Week 1 post, which missed the deadline for the linkup), and I’m already beginning to wonder if I miscalculated. This is my ‘after hours’ project, but…

It’s no secret that engineered stone countertops (aka quartz) are getting really good at mimicking natural stone – dramatically-veined white marbles, in particular. They are great imitators. And recently, new finishes have become available that further enhance the illusion. You can now find an increasing variety of quartz with a honed or satin finish. But…

As promised, I’m back for Part II of our Project Happy Place reveal. You know, the one that almost didn’t happen because my client (aka sister-in-law) and her family decided to move to a new home. It happened so fast, in fact, that they have already moved out. Like, a week ago. I have that…

Well, hello! I won’t go into all the reasons why it has been MONTHS since I’ve blogged (I’m sure you can guess a few of them…), I’ll only say I have missed it and I hope I can figure out a way to get back on a regular publishing schedule here. The reason I am…

Apparently I have not blogged since my One Room Challenge reveal a few weeks ago. Trying to keep my head above water here with several projects (some unexpectedly) heating up all at the same time. Anyway, I wanted to check in quickly today with a really exciting find. It requires one to step back and…
